Why these ages?

Beachside on Hardinge Road, Ahuriri: 'the beach is a stone-throw away' per reviewer, and Hardinge Rd is a main coastal road. Water and road risks moderated by a walkway/cycleway strip between the playground and beach. Playground divided into younger/older zones with a dedicated infant swing, small carousel and parenting room - toddler-appropriate but not fully fenced. Established 2015, bark surface (some sunken wet patches per review). Best for primary-age; supernova and climbing modules extend to older kids.

    Excellent seaside park wit lots of safe gear for children and parents/carers to play on. Good view across the bay if you want to sit and relax for a moment.

    Spriggs Park playground is a large playground which has much to offer children and families of all ages. The park is divided into two areas , one for younger and the other for older children. The equipment is modern, challenging and fun for the relevant ages. Located at Spriggs Park on Hardinge Road the playground is flanked by a multitude of activities and cafes. The beach is a stone-throw away and a great place to take children for a swim, paddle or play in the sand. Picnic tables and a shade area are near by and the Rotary Pathway runs along beside the playground, so bring your scooters and bikes for a ride after a play at the park.

    This place is great on a sunny day when there's barely any wind. Otherwise I don't go. Lots of contraptions for kids to choose. Picnic area with tables for your enjoyment. Lovely place for families. Toilet is just next to the park and is …

    A great place to take the family out. We took our dogs on a nice walk there as well as a play in the sea. The playground there is really nice for younger children to play on. There are also picnic tables and a covered area to get out of the sun. The changing rooms and toilet block help to make it a convenient place to spend the day with the family.
